Chapter 22 Apprenticeship
In the square in front of the main hall, the three new disciples, Heng'er, Zi Ning, and Sledgehammer, were concentrating on practicing the five-form basic exercises on the map.

Qin Chuan didn't disturb them, and stood quietly watching.

When Chen Hao found out that Qin Chuan had returned, he walked up to Qin Chuan with a smile on his face, and said to him, "Brother Sect Master, the three of them performed well. Heng'er is best trained in the tiger shape, and the sledgehammer is in the bear shape." , and Zi Ning is in the snake shape, everyone is getting better and better."

Qin Chuan nodded: "I have also seen that the three of them are malleable talents. Guide them to practice well, and the strength of our Yuhuamen will be further improved."

After a pause, Qin Chuan said again: "Junior brother, tell them to suspend their cultivation and go to the main hall. I have a few things to announce."

Chen Hao took the order and hurriedly informed the three of them to suspend their cultivation and enter the hall together.

In the main hall, Qin Chuan sat in the middle, Chen Hao sat on one side, and the three new disciples stood respectfully, waiting for the headmaster to order.

Qin Chuan cleared his throat and said, "The introductory exercises you three practiced just now are the basic moves in the secret book "Five Forms Returning to Truth". "Five Forms Returning to Truth" is the unique exercise of our sect. , There is a lot of mystery. Tiger, crane, bear, ape, and snake have five shapes, and they learn from nature. There are both external exercises and internal exercises. Choose the exercises that match your physique and heart, and combine internal and external cultivation to enter the realm extremely Hurry up. I saw your training just now, Heng Er chose the tiger shape, Zi Ning chose the snake shape, and the sledgehammer chose the bear shape, right?"

"Yes, Sect Leader." The three of them bowed and answered in unison.

Qin Chuan nodded and said to Chen Hao: "Junior Brother, if you specialize in tiger and bear forms, you will take Heng'er and Sledgehammer as your apprentices and guide them in their cultivation. As for Zi Ning, I will take them as your apprentices and guide them. What do you think?" ?”

Chen Hao quickly stood up and replied: "Everything will be done according to the instructions of the brother in charge."

"Heng'er, Sledgehammer, why don't you pay a visit to Master soon?" Qin Chuan looked at them both with a smile.

Heng'er and Sledgehammer immediately knelt down in front of Chen Hao after hearing the words, "I kowtow to Master!"

A nervous look immediately appeared on Chen Hao's face, and he said again and again: "Get up, you two, get up!"

In Chen Hao's heart, he has always been a small character.When the former Head Liu was alive, he was not even a disciple.Now he was suddenly promoted to master, and he was really uncomfortable for a while when he was bowed down by others.

What's more, Chen Hao is only 23 years old this year.Among the two apprentices, Qiu Dachui, who is the oldest, is already this year, and Heng Er is 15 years old, so there is not much difference.This is also the reason why Chen Hao is not very used to it.

But if you don't get used to it, you don't get used to it. Since the senior brother in charge has a destiny, I must be the master well.

At the same time Heng'er and Qiu Dachui kowtowed to Chen Hao, Wang Zining also knelt down in front of Qin Chuan and said respectfully, "Zi Ning also kowtows to Master."

"Zi Ning, get up." Accepting Wang Zining's kneeling ceremony, Qin Chuan was not as cramped as Chen Hao, and was very indifferent.

In Qin Chuan's heart, an apprentice is an apprentice, and a master is a master, regardless of age.

It's not that Qin Chuan likes to put on the airs of the head and master, but Qin Chuan thinks that there must be rules.

No rules no standards.Although the sect is small, it is also an organization.To maintain the normal operation of an organization, there must be clear rules and constraints.Otherwise, everyone can do whatever they want according to their preferences, then the sect will only be a mess, and it will be difficult to maintain internal stability, let alone develop and grow.

Therefore, Qin Chuan believes that the general etiquette can be ignored, but the necessary rules must be adhered to.

He usually does the same in front of the disciples.He not only often shows his kindness and friendliness to them, but also pays attention to maintaining the majesty of his master.

After the three disciples paid homage to their master, Qin Chuan said again: "The three of you started on the same day. Among them, Sledgehammer is the oldest and will be the senior brother from now on; Zi Ning is 16 years old and is the second junior sister; As junior junior brother. In the future, the three of us will unite and love each other and make progress together."

After a pause, Qin Chuan suddenly asked, "Heng'er, do you still remember your parents' surnames?"

Heng'er shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "I want to report to the sect master, Heng'er's parents have both died since he was a child, and he has never even met his parents once, so he doesn't know his surname."

Qin Chuan pondered for a while, and said: "You have officially become a disciple of Yuhuamen, and you need to have a name and surname when you walk in the cultivation world in the future. Since you don't remember your parents' surnames, let you accompany the surname of the former head Liu. , name it Liu Heng, would you like it?"

"Thank you for the name, head, Liu Heng is willing!" Heng'er was like Zi Ning back then, wandering around, suffering from hunger and cold.If he hadn't been brought back to the Yuhuamen by head Liu, he would have starved to death outside by now.Therefore, in Heng'er's heart, Sect Master Liu treated him with kindness and reinvention.Now he can follow Liu Heng's surname as Liu Heng, of course he is very willing.

So far, everything has been dealt with.Qin Chuan stood up and said to the crowd, "Come with me, and I will take you to see the sect's training dojo."

Qin Chuan led the way first, followed by everyone, and soon arrived at the cultivation dojo in the east.

Both Wang Zining and Qiu Dachui had just gone up the mountain and were not yet familiar with the buildings of Yuhua Gate, so they didn't think there was anything unusual about it.But Chen Hao and Heng'er have been in the sect for many years, and they both clearly remember that this place was originally just an open space overgrown with weeds, without any buildings!

But now, a large expanse of practice dojo is truly displayed in front of them: the ground is smooth and flat, and most of the places are built with high-quality rock materials. Inside the dojo, there are futons, wooden stakes, stone locks, weapon racks, etc. The practice facilities in the temple are also very complete, and the trees and houses on the edge of the dojo are also neat and orderly, just like a new world!

Chen Hao and his new apprentice Liu Heng looked at each other, both dumbfounded.Liu Heng's character is more active than his master's. After being shocked, he couldn't help asking: "Master, this...is this created by your supernatural power?"

Qin Chuan smiled indifferently: "This is not some kind of supernatural power, it's just the practice dojo of the sect. From now on, the sect's teaching, cultivation, and exchange of ideas will all be carried out in the dojo."

"In addition, the quiet room on the north side of the dojo is a forbidden area of ​​our sect. Without my permission, no one is allowed to enter." Qin Chuan pointed to the quiet room that communicates with the underground spiritual veins, and instructed everyone.

Chen Hao and others nodded respectfully.

"Junior brother, from now on, let's formally teach our disciples the practice method of "Five Shapes Returning to the Truth." Qin Chuan took out three thin booklets from the ring while speaking, and kept one of them for himself. , and handed the other two copies to Chen Hao.

"This is a training booklet in the shape of a tiger and a bear. The front is a map of moves, and the back is the method of breathing and breathing. Take it to your apprentices and let them practice with reference."

These pamphlets were all copied by Qin Chuan himself from the original secret book of "Five Forms Returning to the Truth" a few days ago.Qin Chuan had already thought of this when he was solving the cultivation problem for Chen Hao.

Although "Five Forms Returning to Truth" has a better overall cultivation effect of the five forms, it also requires much higher qualifications for the practitioners.Insufficient aptitude to practice forcefully will be harmful instead of beneficial.

In addition, the sect now only has one exercise that can be cultivated, which is a bit shabby to say the least.After splitting, it is equivalent to having five secret books of exercises.When teaching disciples, you can have more choices.

The tiger-shaped and bear-shaped cheats were handed over to Chen Hao, and the snake-shaped cheats were given to his apprentice Wang Zining.Qin Chuan and Chen Hao took their apprentices aside and began to teach the exercises formally.
